But first, the climb

I nominated myself to go up first to check if things were clear. I started up and felt the rope tense a bit more as Eddie's weight was added to mine. As I climbed, I found myself wondering if Eddie was glancing up or if he was avoiding it because I was wearing a skirt. Then I wondered why the thought of him looking at my panties was exciting me so much.

We got in the room in not-too-long, and stopped to take a breather. Rope-climbing is hard.

While we rested, I kept glancing at Eddie. The light from the window hit him in a way that made him seem so handsome and like a man rather than my brother. On further thought, he wasn't technically my brother at all. His parents adopted me when I was 2.

I have to admit, I haven't thought of him as my brother...ever, really. Even before I learned I was adopted, Eddie was more like my friend than anything else. I guess I just never made that sibling-bond with him. In fact, as long as I'm saying things I shouldn't, I also have to admit that I've had a tiny crush on him since jr. high. It sounds so nasty, and believe me, I've been harsher on myself for it than you are, but thats how I feel-felt!

Feel.

I really don't know what came over me. Might have been the light or the thrill. Far as I know, it was magic kinda-but-not-really-incest fairies sprinkling magic boogers. Either way, I stood up and started toward the door.

"Where are you going?"

Remind me to thank my drama teacher later. "I have to tell you something. I-i did something bad."

"What is it?"

"I told someone you guys were coming."

"WH-!? Why would you do that!? Who!?"

"Calm down! I-i told my friend. Its ok, shes not a gossip and I'm the only friend she has. And she hates the no-guys rule here, so she won't tell anyone."

"....thats good, but why did you do that?"

"I...I need to ask you something. My friend, shes..shes a virgin and shes very lonely. I told her you might be able to help her out. Will you? Pleeeaaaseee?"

"What does she want?"

"What every virgin in this school wants. To not be a virgin anymore."

"Oh! W-well, yeah, I guess...wait. What about you?"

"Me?"

"Doesn't that 'what every virgin wants' thing include you?"

I smiled and, Eddie forgive me, lied. "You think I'm a virgin? Thats cute." His reaction was definite but unreadable. But it might have been standard brother-thinks-sister-is-a-slut stuff.

"So, what do I have to do?"

"Just sit there, and she'll be right back."

"Don't you mean 'right here'?"

"Yeah. Oh, one more thing. Shes kind of shy about her body, so close the curtains and turn off the lights, ok? Don't worry, she's hot. But if you see her, she'll get scared and leave." I left the room, closed the door and took a deeeeeeep breath.
